Samenvatting
This article describes a new toolkit for local agencies to use to evaluate their traffic safety efforts. Many local agencies do not have the funds or personnel to create surveys and evaluations from scratch. Most of their money is spent on program implementation. A standardized protocol to help them measure benefits and costs of programs could enable them to evaluate their practices. Users are given the methods for establishing crucial items such as a baseline level of compliance and follow-up surveys to measure outcomes of programs. The protocol was funded by the Office of Traffic Safety and implemented by the UC Berkeley Traffic Safety Center.
